This mahere rautaki (framework for change) outlines the overarching E Tū Whānau priorities for the next five years. It brings together the voices, aspirations and expertise and it builds on the many learnings from the past 10 years. Moreover, it provides a framework within which Māori and government can continue to work together to support community-led change that boosts wellbeing for whānau Māori and prevents violence.

Policy recommendations

1. Supporting whānau, hapū, iwi and communities to build capacity and capability to lead and sustain community-level change
2. Supporting wellbeing and relationships within whānau
3. Opportunities for healing, and connections to culture and community
4. Enabling youth engagement, education and leadership – acknowledging the pivotal role that rangatahi have as influencers within their whānau and communities and especially with their peers.
